Ancient maps and documents do not report on any human activities in the area of the present-day Djibouti. However, the port of Tadjoura had been active for many centuries, mainly in the slave trade between between Africa and Arabia, and it served as a point of departure for caravanes to the hinterland. This became known in the West only after 1855.
